This Opening Prayer is called the Collect. During Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter, this prayer is specific to the day; in the season of Ordinary Time, the Collect for each Sunday is repeated during the following weekday Masses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePraying with the Church through Advent\u003c\/i\u003e, Fr.

Journaling pages are included to aid you in your Advent journey so that you may more fruitfully contemplate the liturgy and incorporate the spiritual lessons it offers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFr. Looney invites you to spend a few minutes considering these meditations over a cup of coffee, or while resting in the Lord’s Presence, and praying with them before or after Mass.
